But there are more reasons people choose to break the bonds of monogamy. The study found that people also cheated because of the following reasons:

“I had ‘fallen out of love with’ my…partner.”

“I was not very committed.”

“I wanted to enhance my popularity.”

“I wanted a greater variety of sexual partners.”

“I was drunk and not thinking clearly.”

Essentially, it's just not because there are problems with the relationship. Sometimes people just want to sleep with other people — or they're drunk. The popularity thing is just dumb, let's be honest.

Interestingly enough, some people have found a solution for finding a way to maintain a strong relationship while also sleeping with other people. Open relationships and polyamory aim to tackle this desire head on, and while it sounds completely wild to a serial monogomaist plenty of people make it work. Check out this polyamorous couple making it work long-distance, for instance.
